MACHINE FOR PRlNTING ROLLER WRAPPING-PAPER.

Specification of Letters 'ratent.

Patented May 8, 1906.

Applicaticvnfiled June 1,1905 Serial No. 26330 To all whom it mayconcern.-

Be it known that I, I'IARRY BARNARD, a citizen of Canada, and a residentof Hamilton, in the county of I/Ventworth and Province of Ontario,Canada, have invented new and useful Improvements in Machines forPrinting Roller rapping-Paper, of which the following is aspecification.

My invention relates to a machine for printing roller wrapping-paper inwhich is a pivotal spring-frame carrying a printingroller andinking-rollers adapted to be revolved by the action of a wrapping-paperroll journaled on a stand by means of taking off a length of paper fromthe roll.

The objects of my invention are, first, to provide means whereby aprinting-roller prints commercial matter on a roll of wrapping-paperevery time that a length of paper is taken from the roll; second, toprovide means whereby the inking-rollers may be removed and replaced forprinting purposes; third, to provide means on the printing-rollerwhereby'said roller is revolved; fourth, to al low the printing-rollerto assume a central position on the paper-roll, as shown, or to beremoved toward either end of the paper-roll, and, fifth, to afiordfacilities for ad usting the tension of the printing-roller to thepaperroll. I attain these objects by the mechanism illustrated in theaccompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is an elevation of the printingside of the machine. Fig. 2 is an end elevation of the same, the sidesof the frames being removed and as viewed from the right-hand endthereof.

Similar characters refer to similar throughout both views.

In the drawings, A represents standards, which support a horizontalstationary bar B, and a' roll of wrapping-paper C is journaled betweensaid standards and adapted to revolve loosely therein.

D is a horizontal paper-cutting blade, forming a part of the spring-armsE, which are connected to the bar B in the usual manner of paper-rollmachines which include the above-mentioned trainei girk-and mechanismandwhich are not new.

The parallel printing-roller, is indicated by 2 and has end flanges 3 oflarger diameter than the roller. The periphery of the roller 2 isadapted to receive lines of rubber or parts other suitable type 4,secured thereto and The roller 2 shown in Fig. 2 of the drawings.

is journaled in the frame 5 and adapted to revolve loosely therein. Theupper end parts of the frame 5 are loosely connected to the horizontalshaft 6, which passes through said end parts of the frame 5 andthroughthe lugs 7of the slidable plate 8, which rcstson the bar B. Theplate 8 has an under lip 9 on the opposite side to the lugs 7 to allowthe plate 8 to be moved either way on the'stationary bar B and to beheld in adjusted position by the weight of the printing device on theopposite side of the frame A. v The plate 8 with its hp 9 tit the bar Bvery snugly and securely. The shaft 6 has a central pin 10, to whichretains the middle part of the spiral spring 12, which spirals aroundthe shaft 6, and the two ends of the spring 12 press against the studs13 on the inner sides of the frame 5 to press the flanges 3 and the type4 of the roller 2 against the paper-roll C.

The end part 14. of the shaft 6 is four-sided I and has a ratchet-wheel15, secured on the shaft, and a dog 16 is pivotally connected to the lug7 and adapted to engage the opposite side of the ratchet-wheel 15 andstopthe same, together with the shaft 6, after the same has beenrevolved either way in order to give more or less tension on the ends ofthe spring 12 and on the frame 5. The shaft 6 maybe revolved by means ofa wrench on its end 14. The intermediate inking-roller 16 has andflanges 17, which engage the periphery of the printing-roller '2 and theperiphery of the roller 16 is adapted to ink the-type 4 on the roller 2when the roller 16 is revolved by the printing-roller. The upperinking-roller 18 is in contact with the periphery of the roller 16. Therollers 16 and 18 have ,end journals 20 and 21, respectively, and shownin Fig. 2 of the drawings.

The inner sides of the frame 5 have suitable recesses or slots 22, whichextend from the outer edges inward and downward to bediate roller 16 andsaid intermediate roller to' the printing-roller II is a brace-boltthrough the lower part or the frame 5. 1

The operation of the machine is as follows:

When a desired length of Tapping-p aper is removed from the aper-r0110by means of pulling by the end C, the roll 0 is revolved. Consequentlythe printin -roller 2 is revolved by the friction of the rol on theflanges 3 and the type 4 prints on the roll of paper being taken fromofi the roll C. At the same time the intermediate roller is revolved bymeans of itsflang'es engaging the periphery of the roller 2, and theupper roller is revolved by contact with the intermediate roller. The

.printing-roller is given more or less tension or adjustment against thepaper-roll by means of adjusting theshaft 6 in either direction,

as the case may be. 'Said shaft when adjust ed inereases or diminishesthe tension of the I sprin '12 on the frame 5.

at I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

In a printing device for papererolls, the combination with a frame forthe paper-roll eiavoa having a fiat cross bar or member, of a plateresting on said cross-bar and provided with a lip-Which hooks over thefront edge and underneath the crossbar, whereby the plate is secured tothe cross-bar so that it may be slid longitudinally of said cross-bar,lugs projecting from the plate toward the rear and opposite side of thepape ii roll frame from the HARRY BARNARD.
